Congratulations! Will you be eating it, or collecting it for hatching? (we have spring fever already and the hatching madness spreads easily, lol!)

Definitely eating, as I don't have a roo. Although right now I'm too scared to crack it! Maybe I'll get another one soon and have myself an omelet.

I felt the same way last year when I started LOL!

And I'm trying to find Narragansett and Bourbon Red turkey eggs.

I assume you saw the CL ad about Nara toms and jakes? They're in Newnan and already pretty much grown so I know you probably don't want them, but it reminded me of something.

You're probably about to be going to a POULTRY SHOW! You will almost definitely find what you need there. AND of course... a lot more. MUCH more. Too many more. HAHA!


Man I hope you have a lot of money set aside for it...
And uh... don't tell your DH I mentioned that.

[swampturkey]

I'm actually skipping the built coop idea, unless I get a LOT of time over the summer. But it's doubtful that I will. So I'm going to be buying those 10' by 10' canopies with screen sides. I found them for $100 each. And each one will hold one breed. Perfect size for it, and rain-proof too.

I'll just need to buy plywood to make the nest boxes. That's the only thing I'll actually have to *make*. And a 4'x8' piece makes 6 nest boxes, so I figured about 4 of those, and I have enough for 2-3 nest box per breed/pen.
